Location: Jackson, Minnesota: KOA campground
States passed through: Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Traveled from Naperville Illinois to Jackson Minnesota where we're staying at a KOA campground tonight. Had a rather uneventful drive that took us north through Illinois, Wisconsin, and over the Mississippi River into Minnesota. Once again, tons of flat land and farms, and even a 30 mile section of I-90 in Minnesota that was one lane each way because they just simply closed the other side to re-do it (imagine that in NJ!). For all my friends on the east coast, the weather here has been partly cloudy and low to mid 80s with a 5 minute stretch of some rain on the way (I'm sorry, really just had to throw that in...). Made a few stops along the way, and one of the rest areas in Minnesota had a kids playground that was hard to resist and you can see in the picture. This is probably the straightest highway I have ever driven on and there was 20 mile stretches where there wasn't a car within a mile of me on either side. Used the propane stove to make kichri for dinner tonight and ate well before ekadasi tomorrow. On to South Dakota and Mt. Rushmore in the morning. No idea why the picture isn't rotating on my comp, so please just tilt your head to the right while looking at it.
